The Alocasia Dragon Scale is a striking jewel Alocasia prized for its deep green, textured leaves that resemble dragon armor. It thrives in bright, indirect light, warm temperatures (65–80°F), and high humidity, making a humidifier or pebble tray especially helpful. Keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy, watering when the top 1–2 inches feel dry, and use filtered or distilled water to avoid leaf spotting. Plant in a chunky, well-draining mix (such as soil blended with orchid bark and perlite) to prevent root rot. Fertilize monthly during spring and summer, and expect growth to slow during winter dormancy. Note: This plant is toxic if ingested—keep out of reach of pets.
